Google Bigquery Direct Query Mode

I can't seem to be able to get the new Bigquery connector to let me use Direct Query mode.  this is a fresh project and I re-set the credentials but I am never given an option to choose mode or enter a query.

How can I get to Direct Query mode?

Need Help

    I do get the option for direct mode.  Have you updated your version of the PBI Desktop recently?

    I'm using Version: 2.51.4885.701 64-bit (October 2017)

      I am using the October 2017 release of Power Bi Desktop. I am never shown that option.

        Hi Anonymous, toulou,

         

        The Google BigQuery (Beta) connector should support DirectQuery in Power BI Desktop from the August 2017 update. If the issue persists, I would suggest you create a support ticket on Power BI Support page for better assistance. :smileyhappy:

    I have the same issue. I am pretty sure that I have seen this option before but now it is not there anymore.
